How do I Repair My UPS?

A UPS is meant for back up purpose only, as to give you time for closing up and save the file in a folder in a drive. UPS gives 30 to 40 mins back up , that's true. UPS has got a charger section which connects the AC current to the battery. When power goes off, DC current from battery comes to its help. Therefore as you said in your question above, the battery is not getting charged or maybe the chargins section circuit maybe of some problem. Its technical problem so consult to a UPS technician. Possibilities are battery needs to be replaced as it is not getting charged. Or the circuit must be repaired if there's the main problem. A bateery would costs around i guess $20-$30. So please check to the cost of the battery and a new UPS. If it seems new UPS will be wise enough , go for it. Decision is on you.

Thanks.
